His Sonnet

wrote a sonnet and sent it thee
Did'st thou peruse it, my jewell
1t came from above and its theme was love-
Hath it made thy heart less cruel?
Distilled through my soul its every word
Did they tail to touch thy spirit?
Or am thrice blest, sweet mind, in my quest;
Do some favor inherty
Yet, all of my soul l could not write;
Words are but wind and | own it;
The love in my heart, cen the poets art,
Cannot transcriOe i'll a sonnet
But fancy each rhyme means ten fold more
Than I've contrived to put in it,
There, reason I've tried; now, dearest, decide
That may be blest this minute!
Good man, l fear you've made mistake;
Your sonnet has just come over;
Of course | can see you're limiting at me
That 5 about all discover
1t is best to be plain with a friend
And speak your mind i'll good season;
I've read the thing through as best | could do
And failed to lind rhyme reason.

The Passenger Agents Lament.
Time was when was stern and proud,
And when my air was naughty,
When all my views spoke aloud
In words severe and naughty.
Men walked with me and talked with me,
And told me all their stories
Their faces now | seldom see;
Gone glimmering are my glories!
When limbs are lost attorneys come,
My throat is filled with law dust;
The whole world has an aspect glum,
My doll is stuffed with sawdust;
am hot now what used to be,
No guard is at my portal;
I'm but man of low degree,
a very common mortal

New Ulm weekly review., 1887-08-31

We congratulate the citizens Of New
Ulm upon having resolved to do some
thing for themselves. A $40, 600 court
house and $4,000 bridge are good be-
ginning. If the citizens show that they
have faith in their town, it is easy to in
duce outsiders to invest and locate
there. - Volkzeitusg.
t has been decided by Judge Sever
ance that every merchant who sells
goods by weight or measure must have
his scales and measures examined,
found correct and sealed by the county
treasurer before he can do a legal bust
ness. The decision arises from a suit
for the collection of bill for store
goods, in which the defendant set up as
part of his defense the fact that the
plaintiff s weights;and measures were
not sealed according to law. The de-
cision therefore is to the effect that a
dealer cannot collect a bill for goods
measured or weighed if the weights and
measures are not officially sealed. The
law has been on the statute books for
years but has been dead letter. In
Mankato the merchants are tumbling
over one another in their haste to have
their weights and measures examined.
There is set of official instruments in
the Office of the treasurer of this coun-
ty, but they have never been used. -

From the friend so far away !;
It will tell you how I wandered
Down the woodland paths once
more
As I did in careless childhood
In the happy days Of yore.
1t will tell you how wearied
With this world so full of pain,
[ have turned my steps back east

To my dear old home again !;
And while wandering Ger the
meadow
And the leafy woodland through,
That your face is Oft before me,
Oft my thoughts are back with
you.
And while seated meath the
branches
OF the oak tree where | played,
Rest and peace steal gently Ger me.
Meath this old friends grateful
shade !;
All my weary cares have left me
And my burdens now are light,
And my thoughts will all be kind
ones,
When I wander back tonight.
IT'S only delicate fern-leaf
That I send to you to day,
But it bears a message tender
To a friend so far away
It will tell you, though I've journ-

Far away from home and thee,
And though other friends are round
me,
You will not forgotten be.

it impossible to do so. It is one of the
liveliest, red hot towns in America.
Buildings are in process of construction

dimensions and three or four stories
high, while cheaper houses for residences
have been built by the hundred al
ready. The water power is something
marvellous and not one thousandth part
of it is utilized. have travelled quite
extensively over the country and met
many of the old Minnesota people.
They invariably express themselves
satisfied with this country, not one, to
nv knowledge, wishing himself back.
I met Mr.. & Mrs. Kirby formerly from
near Iberia. They live out four or five
miles, are nicely situated, have some
eight hundred acres of land, raise hay,
wheat, potatoes and fruit IN abundance.
Have seen nearly all of the West New
ton parties, all are doing well. l.. w.
Swift, of Colfax is quite an extensive
fruit grower, has 40 acres bearing this
year, 65 acres for next, two years more
he will have 80 and in five years 125.
These trees are all planted and doing
nicely. ] have him and his most excel
lent lady to thank for many kind favors.
Colfax lies in q gulch 60 miles from
here. Has one business street, the resi-
dences are all on side hill. Snake riY.
er runs close by. Mr.. Swift is compa-
ratively new conner, having been in
the territory only seven years. he has
about forty varieties Of fruit this year,
principally apples, pears, peaches,
plums and appricots. all of an excellent
quality. equal, if not superior to
California fruit. He estimates his crop
this year at over 150 tons. Any one
wishing for information would do well
to write him at Colfa1 WI. It has
been very warm the past few days, but

Heard on the Streets.

Although the city authorities had not
issued any permits, two games Of
chance were running IN full blast last
Tuesday and part Of Wednesday. One.
a cane rack. was run by one armed
chap at second street north near Mln-
nesota street. The other, q knife
spindle, was run by two slick young
men in Leibold's $ building.
People wondered all day Tuesday
that our police allowed these fellows to-
run; especially the one in Leibold's
building, as the latter permitted gamb-
ling for money, but no one stopped
them and they kept on raking in the
shekels from the innocent.
Finally citizen spoke to the chief,
calling his attention to the fragrant way
in which outsiders violated our laws.
The.chief claimed that he had not been
aware of the state of affairs, but said
he would look up the matter Wednesday
morning.
Wednesday forenoon the gamblers
were still plying their vocation when
some one called the attention of anoth-
er member of the force TO the gamb-
ling. The latter acted promptly and
arrested three Of the gang. They were
arraigned before Judge Fischer, plead
guilty and were fined twenty-five dol
lars each. The fine was paid by two,
while in the case of the third one, the
one-armed chap, most of the fine was
remitted
The one armed chap complains Bit
terly that he should have been arrested
and fined. He claims that the city au-
thorities have granted him a license for
one year, allowing him to run his rack
within the corporate limits of this city.
Upon examination, the license proved
to be one granted to him as a peddler
on foot, and his attention being called
to this, the cane man stated that it was
understood by the authorities, that he
was to run a cane rack and that the
reason he was granted the license
was because he was a cripple and poor
and the mayor took pity on him. | am
10th to believe that this is true, but if it
is, the authorities deserve censure, for
it is their duty to prohibit and not as
sist gambling. It would be far better
for the city to shelter and feed poor
people than to place temptation in the
way of the young, the innocent and the
ignorant.

Judge Fandrau's suggestion Of FIVE
minute toasts came just little too
late.
The time for toasts was SO short that
several could not be responded to.
Amongst them were, ..The City of New

ed to by Mr.. P. Scherer and ..The
Ladies' which had been assigned to
Gov. McGin.
Take it all in all the two days were

were few oversights and some Of the
committees did not fulfill all of their
duty but this could hardly be otherwise.

years from to-day
Mr.. Geo. Jacobs succeeded in doing
the work Of a dozen men during the two
days.
We neglected to mention the Maen-
nerchor among the list of those who
took part in the parade.
The procession extended over more
than seven blocks at the same time.
Only a few of the visitors are in town
at this writing. The majority departed
Wednesday and Thursday.
The city will have to pay less than
three hundred dollars to make up the
deficiency of the celebration.

''Muensterlaender Verein'' marched
with the procession.
The banquet was not an exclusive af-
fair. Sleepy Eye people were treated
the same as our own. No invitations
were issued to any but defenders and
the few invited guests, but every one
was welcome to participate.
